Adam Smith

This is how it should be. Few will do it now but, 5-10 years from now, sites that do this and have always done it will be hopefully perceived more fondly.

And AI will use up water and energy that will increase our monthly bills, video game consoles and anything using chips. There needs to be a huge push for responsible AI use!

It's easy to forget that this was something we had to consciously defend clients against back in the day. How times have changed.

Looks like I might be going to Brighton SEO for the first time ever, somehow!

The amount of LLM trackers coming to market now is unbelievable.

@michaeltsb.bsky.social Can we have a Steve Nicol update on Propaganda soon? I miss him.

AI is mentioned on every other advert now. Important to remember it isn't just SEO that's bombarded by it at the moment.

We used the access card! My wife suffers from chronic pain and struggled for years, but it's been much easier for her with accessibility tickets. We assumed they were only for wheelchair users initially. Used it for a few gigs this year (all standing) and it really puts her at ease.

We rang at 10am and was on hold until 2:30, so it was stressful, but we got standing tickets. We only found out in the last year or so that accessibility tickets cover chronic pain, which has been a lifesaver!

We almost went for general sale because it wasn't clear whether standing was available through accessibility, but we rang and found out it was! Pretty good for people who need support but would rather stand.

We needed accessible tickets and could only buy through the phone. We did it, but it was so needlessly stressful!

Are both days now sold out?

How was it getting tickets? It took us 5 hours, but we got them!

I can't help but think Chiesa is actually Justin Trudeau.

That sounds incredible. I've always done them to a deadline, so I'd love to sit and really focus long-term on a dashboard.

Jamie Carragher's response to the Semenyo racist abuse was terrible. That, along with his AFCON comments, means it's irresponsible of Sky to have him on the air at this point.

That's absolutely baffling.

Need to start using this more. Such a breath of fresh air.

Yeah, I don't think we're going back to the disavow days.

Unreal. A term like this has very broad intent but, still, wow.

A Core Update really is a thoughtful gift from Google ahead of paternity leave.

Most of the problems come back to austerity and greed, too. Extortionate privatised car parks, expensive/non-existent public transport and overpriced taxis are as much to blame as anything else.

There's such a warped view of what the night economy is, too. It isn't just clubnights - it's live music, comedy, restaurants, art. So much creativity that simply isn't being supported.

This probably won't happen, but US digital policies are so strange. TikTok generates $$$ and supports livelihoods.

At a time when mainstream gigs cost silly money and are reserved for large cities, these venues are so important for UK culture.

Councils need to understand that these venues are primarily for live music - the club nights are often there to support that, whether financially or through building a community.

It'a depressing to think that parasite SEO isn't actually the problem anymore. Google's algorithm has monopolised search by relying on brand.

This infographic really emphasises the fact that Google does not like irrelevant content. Even if you're not working in affiliates, don't just go where the volume is.

A Core Update to keep people busy until Christmas. Google is savage.

Great thread here. Checking product filters for search demand is so key to deciding what needs to be indexable.

Important to remember that a blog initiated the Forbes penalty too.
